George Young, the musical partner of Harry Vanda, enjoyed chart-topping success for over three decades. His journey began with the iconic Easybeats and continued as a producer/songwriter for various artists, including John Paul Young, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, Cheetah, Ted Mulry, Stevie Wright, and AC/DC. Alongside Harry, George and Vanda also achieved great success with Flash and the Pan, almost by accident. George's contribution to music is immense, with classics such as "Friday on My Mind," "Sorry," "Love is in the Air," "Evie," "Yesterday's Hero," "Down Among the Dead Men," "Hey, St. Peter," "Bad Boy for Love," "Jailbreak," and "It's a Long Way to the Top." In 2001, APRA recognized "Friday on My Mind" as the best and most significant Australian song of the past 75 years.
In his comprehensive book, "George Young: The Man Behind the Music," writer Jeff Apter delves into George's remarkable association with Harry, his enduring marriage to Sandra, and the pivotal handshake deal with Ted Albert that laid the foundation for their music empire. The book also sheds light on lesser-known events, such as the near-death experience of "Hey, St. Peter" before its release and the tragic incident that bound George and Harry together for life.
George Young's journey is a testament to his talent, dedication, and resilience in the music industry. His collaboration with Harry Vanda, combined with his exceptional skills as a producer/songwriter, has left an indelible mark on Australian music history. This book provides a deep insight into the life and work of George Young, a true legend in the world of rock and roll.
